14 SAWER Rebus in London Following musikFabrik's successful world première of David Sawer's ensemble work Rebus comes the UK première, this time performed by the London Sinfonietta and David Porcelijn at the QEH (19 February 2005). Part of a day entitled Inventions 2005, other works by Sawer to be performed are Cat's-Eye (also by the London Sinfonietta) and Sounds (BBC Singers). Meanwhile, Tiroirs, which was performed in Denmark in November, will receive its Portuguese première on 28 February 2005, when Susanna Mälkki conducts BCMG. Morton, Morton, Morton... FELDMAN Morton, Morton, Morton ... From 8-15 January, the Theater am Neumarkt in Zurich will once again present Morton, Morton, Morton, an evening of music, dance, text and silence based on For Bunita Marcus by Morton Feldman - at centre is the composer's passionate love of sound, while ample space and time are also given over to silence. (Direction: Joachim Schlömer, piano: Markus Hinterhäuser) The Staatstheater Stuttgart has been presenting a new production of Feldman's opera Neither since 31 October (further performances: 4 Dec 2004, 20 and 21 Jan 2005). The composer wrote this work in 1976/77 after a text written for him by Samuel Beckett. The unusual libretto, without roles or stage directions, resulted in an abstract opera devoid of characters and scenery (conductor: Roland Kluttig, direction: Studio Azzurro, soloist: Anu Komsi). sawer / feldman 14
FURRER / NERUDA Dort ist das Meer, nachts steig ich hinab For one of the concerts in his ‘das neue werk’ festival in Hamburg, Richard Armbruster has programmed Beat Furrer's piece Dort ist das Meer - Nachts stieg ich hinab, composed in 1985/86 (NDR Symphony Orchestra and Choir, c. Peter Eötvös, 25 February 2005). With reference to the poem by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, Furrer remarks that it is an expression of despair over past tragedy, misery, and the Mapocho River as its witness, born of snow, sprung from the beak of an eagle, winding through the "valley of ashes". … The increasingly intense cries of the poet, the fearful questions … are answered with silence. Neruda's text was not used here as a programmatic model for the composition of the music. Since only fragments of his text were used, it was possible to subjugate the language to the musical composition. Beat Furrer SCHNYDER Portrait concert in Winterthur The Musikkollegium Winterthur, a long-standing partner of Daniel Schnyder, will present a concert portrait concert of Schnyder on 26 January 2005. The Orchester Musikkollegium Winterthur under Kristjan Järvi will interpret his Trumpet Concerto (Reinhold Friedrich, trp.), Concerto and Ritus from Symphonic Encounters with South Africa. Schnyder's oeuvre is marked by an openness to the entirety of his own musical experience, where twelvetone music sits equally next to Bach and jazz. furrer / schnyder 15
